Question:
Im supposed to be getting braces but...?
i still have to wait for one tooth to fall out. I'm nearly 15, is this normal to still have a baby tooth to fall out? And is there any way to make it fall out coz its only a little bit wobbly. Do you think if i ask my orthodontist to get it pulled out will he do it? Once its gone will the adult tooth automatically come down once theres room? I've been waiting for braces for such a long time, i really want them.

Well, i had my baby teeth until i was 17, in which time my adult teeth had grown over the top of my baby teeth... so i had adult teeth at the top of my gums...
I now have braces because of how bad my teeth were as a result of keeping my baby teeth in so long.
Your orthodontist will most likely tell you to get some of your teeth pulled anyway to make room for your brace...(he will not pull them himself)
Your dentist will remove your baby tooth if you asked..
And btw yes you can have braces without your adult tooth coming through properly...mines just starting to come through now and ive had my braces since november.
